Cat ® CW16 pneumatic compactor
Designed for use on granular materials and all types of asphaltmix designs, the new Cat ® CW16 pneumatic( rubber-tyre) roller is available as a standard ninewheel model with a 1 754mm compaction width or as an optional 11-wheel model with a 2 132mm compaction width. The CW16 is designed for efficient performance on highways, city streets, county roads, lane additions, industrial sites, overlays, or other mid-size jobs.
Depending on ballast used, operating weight varies from a 5 200kg base configuration to an approximate maximum weight of 15 000kg for the nine-wheel configuration and 14 900kg for the 11-wheel configuration. Perwheel weight can be varied from 580kg to 1 670kg for the ninewheel model and from 480kg to 1 350kg for the 11-wheel model.
Oscillating front wheels assist in compacting soft voids across the entire machine width, and the 11-wheel configuration increases efficiency in chip-and-seal applications. A tyre overlap of 32mm ensures even compaction across the surface. Each wheel is equipped with self-adjusting scrapers, and a water-spray system deters material from adhering to the wheel surface. Standard cocoa mats help retain water to keep wheels wet, and heat-retention aprons are available.

The LRT 1090-2.1 rough-terrain mobile crane features a 47m hydro-mechanical telescoping boom system with rope pull technology.
A pressurised water-spray system is designed with dedicated spray nozzles for each wheel. The system includes a single water pump, triple filtration, and adjustable intermittent operation. Triple filtration( with filters at the fill point), in conjunction with the design of the water pump and spray nozzles, provides protection against clogs. The adjustable intermittent-spray mode conserves water and reduces the number of refills required.
Two engines are available for the CW16 to meet regional emissions requirements. The Cat C3.4B ACERT™ engine meets US EPA Tier 4 Final / EU Stage IV standards, and the Cat C4.4 meets the equivalent of US EPA
Tier 3 / EU Stage IIIA / China NR III standards. An eco-mode, in combination with an exclusive automatic speed-control system, is designed to save fuel, lower sound levels, and deliver smooth transitions for optimum mat quality. Both engines are rated at 101.9 horsepower( 75kW).
The CW16’ s two-speed hydrostatic propel system is electronically controlled and designed to provide both jobsite manoeuvrability and speeds up to 19km / h. The propel system automatically shifts between speed ranges and has a coast feature that conserves fuel. Tyre choices include a 12-ply 7.5 × 15 radial or a 14-ply 7.5 × 15 bias-ply. The machine is designed to provide exceptional visibility
for the operator, the result of a newly designed console and the machine’ s standard, rotating operator’ s station. An LCD
display and push-button controls simplify operation for an allaround comfortable operating environment. A ROPS canopy or sun canopy is available.
The standard, 500-hour, engine-oil-service interval reduces both routinemaintenance time and overall operating costs. The CW16’ s large-capacity hydraulic- and engine-cooling systems keep components at optimum temperatures, even in high ambient temperatures, extending service life for such critical components as hydraulic pumps and motors.
